This new local Toronto group has been gigging regularly between T.O. & Ottawa and have a just completed four track e.p. out. Their sound is a frothy hard rock home brew spiked with a mid-70's southern boogie sensibility.
The opener "Ain't No Friend Of Mine" alternates between darkly sung verses and a forceful chorus. "Hear Them Cry" is propelled forward by thumping tribal drumming then takes off at the end aided by some double time piano flourishes. Next up is "Neck Deep" which moves along at a brisk pace ?occasionally breaking into a funky groove before jumping back to a swift sprint to the finish line. Front man Brian Stephenson's muscular guitar playing is propped up by the rock solid foundation provided by the crack rhythm section.
Clocking in at just over eighteen minutes this not-so-little sampler has more value for your buck than many full length releases by major label bands.
That's just the new way of doing things for Old James. - This Side of the Tracks
